Chevu bhi likhta hai...: Explore the New Destination of GATE

Many of the GATE aspirants appeared in GATE 2012 today. Majority of them have made their mind to get admission into IITs and IISC, accepted. But many people don't know what good GATE score can offer them.

Majority of the post graduation courses offered on basis of GATE score are in the field of technology (MTech/PHD). So it might be that many of you would not be aware of one the best institutes of India in the field of management, i.e. National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) Mumbai. Lets have a look what NITIE can offer you:

What is NITIE?
It is one of the best institutes in India for Management studies specializing in field of Industrial Engineering. It is one of the 15 centers of excellence along with IITs and IIMs. Due to its expertise in the field of Operation and Supply Chain Management, its also popularly known as "Karmabhumi of OPs and SCM"

Course Offered - PGDIE
Though people refer NITIE as a management institute, but its core competency is in field of Industrial Engineering & Management. The course offered by NITIE to GATE student is Post Graduation Diploma in Industrial Engineering(PGDIE). It is the flagship course of NITIE and very well reputed in industry.

Industrial Engineering in IIT or NITIE
I won't comment on the course offered by IITs, but the course offered by NITIE is not only technological, it is more of managerial i.e. techno-managerial course. You will be taught technical aspects as well as managerial aspects of the real world. You are free to explore your choice of subjects whether they are technical or managerial, as electives offered to PGDIE students are as diverse as other managerial courses offered in different managerial institutes.
After NITIE you will be called Managers, but after IITs you will be still called as engineers.

Admission Procedure and Fees
This I will leave to official team of PGDIE. You can contact them for more details on ietimes.nitie@gmail.com

We are not managerial material. We are technical people.
Believe me we also thought same when we came in NITIE. The best part of the PGDIE NITIE is the culture to groom first year students by seniors. Senior invest three months to transform first year students into managers. Starting from soft skills, presentations, public speaking, GD, PI to technical aspects, they gave us sessions on everything that would help us to improve ourselves.

What about placement?
I don't need to comment on this. You can check NITIE site and see placement report. Believe me placement offered by NITIE is in line with IIMs. Top notch companies from every industry visit NITIE every year. All students of NITIE will go through same placement procedure and eligible for all companies that visit the campus.

How will we compete with CAT students?
As I have already told you after your grooming part, on time of placement you don't have to compete with peer batch. Keep my word in your mind, your biggest competitors will be your own batchmates.

But at IITs we can have stipend.
Good news. PGDIE students in NITIE also get stipend as decided by MHRD (i.e. 8000 per month)

What about work load?
I won't comment on this much. But you won't get better work life balance in any other managerial or technical post graduation institutes compared to NITIE.
